But all of this (Christian's and Narayan's decisions) is a huge effort 
if you only want to change some little things like misspelling, wrong 
links etc.

I won't write many words in the todo or somewhere else when I only want 
to change some letters or a link.

And I won't ask some "review-publisher" for that to publish it. If you 
want this the most people outside the "review-publisher" won't do any 
change on the website.

And who will decide who will get in the review-team? What will be the 
criteria?

And will this be only for the international site or for the NL-sites too?

A written policy must be signed from all the publishers. And this is 
what we didn't want.
A spoken policy won't be useful as we have seen in case of Sophie (as 
expert on l10n) and David (as "limited in time web content admin"). And 
with this example the hole thing don't function because you have e.g. an 
expert in a subject who isn't inside the "review-team" and he writes 
something which is quite useful and necessary and the review-team as 
non-experts in this subject will not publish it (because of many 
discussions or personal disagreement or so). How will this then 
function: Will there be a voting in the review-publisher team for a page?

The spoken policy must be transformed to every new publisher in the 
coming years.

As above: Will this be only for the international site or for the 
NL-sites too?

For the case of policy:
If I only requesting publication there is shown that there is sent an 
"email to no one". And so I do not know if the site would "ever" published.

The only way as I think is to get some written down criteria for 
changing author-rights to publisher-rights for "newbies" up to now. But 
this should be a new topic with a wikipage to develope.

The last thing:
Is it really necessary to "checking out" the work of someone here who is 
a publisher yet?

Maybe we do this:
One will be the head/admin of a single page (not for all!). Mostly it 
will be the person who build in the site. And all the others ask him 
after changing it except with little changes. The head or some one he 
called will publish it. His name is commented in the site.
After some time (let me say 3 or 6 months) the site has no "head" except 
the one renews his "heading".
The community is able to set an other head if they think it is better 
for this single page.
But we should do this on meriocraty and not on force.
If someone breaks the rule more often without any reason he will loose 
his publisher rights after some explained warning.
